fFRom Static X "As for your friend that is exactly why we're having the delays in getting you in as well. We do not schedule people until we have a set date and everything is here in stock in our hands so we do not have to rely on shipping companies and other companies to get the products here on time (as we hear the wrath from that and not themselves). As soon as hes ready to come in, just email me or call in and we can easily get him setup for a day for installation."

Brad, does your FMIC have instructions on how to install?

Mike thanks!

Don- Yes but they are in Japanese so I printed the English version off the internet. GReddy says the install for my M-Spec core FMIC is the exact same as the standard GReddy FMIC or V-spec. Why do you ask??

Why pay $300 when you can do it yourself (with some help) for a fraction of that?

Check under screen name

If someone wants to help then I'll pay them to do so, but right now I just don't feel like doing it.

Is that what they quoted you? $300?

If so, its not too bad... as you would have to take the undertray, front bumper, cut the front bumper, cut or remove rebar, relocated the radiator and coolant lines, either bend or add PS line, relocate the battery, and then put it all back together.. If you don't have experienced doing it, it could take well over 4 hours.

Yup, that's what Robert, the President of the company, quoted me and said they could easily get it done in a day. So I'm probably going to go that route.

Well, I won't be able to make it up to Huntsville Friday night for pizza because I'm helping my wife get ready for our "3 Family" yard sale for Saturday morning, and plus I'm leaving Sat. morning around 9:30 to head to BNR in B'ham and hang for the day I guess.

Maybe I can do pizza next week as I hope to have my car at Static X and I'll be in town anyway.

Don, sorry I did not call you again Sunday. I do not get many days of this time of the year so they usually get spent doing family things.. We went bowling!

Anyway I did work on mine late last night and got a smalled wastegate spring put in and I had to reinstall my inovative wideband.
Then with my luck I go to back out today and the clutch slave went out again. I have to buy a new one. ANy progress on yours?

Went to the dragstip Saturday night. Ran the Probe during test & tune session. Best was 10.33 @ 68.3 MPH. Not too bad for a FWD with just a K&N filter and exhaust and 204K miles.
